Borromean rings and non-Borromean rings
This interactive animation is useful to understand the effect of the switching of a crossing in the scheme of a knot. We start by considering the Borromena rings and we have the possibility of switching some crossings and find out all the knots that have the same "shadow" of the Borromean rings.
The animation is on the CD of matemilano.
